There are three blocks used in this quilt from the 2015 Block Lotto monthly challenges.  I made extra every month thinking I would put them into one big quilt but have decided, instead, to use them in other ways.  Elizabeth Clark and I spent the afternoon yesterday playing with blocks.  Here is my first un-quilted result; it’s arrows pointing the way to the Beach Cabanas.   The inspiration comes from this photograph of cabanas in, I...

Although I posted the flimsy more than a year ago the quilt was finally finished last week, despite being professional long arm quilted in Sept/Oct last year. In fairness a baby’s cot quilt was also completed using these winnings but did not take a photo, sorry for the contributors not to see their included blocks. I used purple and green ones then. I hope to have my backlog of 5 or 6 finished this year. Is that just wishful thinking?...

Picture looks goofy for some reason but I wanted to share a quilt I made for the Quilts for Kids charity using some of my recently won Wonky Strip Blocks.   I’ve been on a roll with making kids’ quilts ever since Thanksgiving.  I had bought 4 yards of batting at Jo-Ann’s just for this purpose, and also to perfect machine sewn-on binding which I am now totally proficient at after making 12 donation quilts!  This is my first...

The finished X blocks quilt. This was given to a niece for Christmas. She loved it! Thank you to everyone who helped make these...

I don’t have a very good picture of the finished quilt! I added 2 inches on two sides of each block. I attended a wedding in May. The colors were a royal blue and it was right along the Mississippi. Lots of fresh green grass and plant growth. These blocks seemed to be the perfect...

I won the red stars in August 2013 and finished the top in 2015.  It’s now quilted (thanks Maria Hall) and bound.  I’ll be entering in the dallas quilt show in the Group category.  So thanks everyone who made one of these great stars.  (the quilt should be rotated 90 degrees). I’m calling it Christmas...

A series of steps in the right direction – my Geese blocks are now a top!  These were from May 2013. May you all succeed in keeping your New Year resolutions! Karen N in Cape Town, South...

After spending an enjoyable Christmas with my parents, I was able to get the binding on my quilt and just finished the last hand stitching within the last hour. I love how it has turned out A heartfelt thanks for all the wonderful blocks and good luck to all in tomorrow’s...

6 more blocks for me!  So glad I got them done. Also thought you might like to know that I have finally finished this quilt from many years ago. I gifted it to my brother for his January birthday. Can’t wait to see January’s...

Following Sophie’s suggestion, I looked at black and white as a border for my September win, the 9 Patch Plaids. Though I ordered a couple of them, nothing seemed just right until I found this one.  It is all assembled, back included, and it will soon go off to be quilted.

Hi everyone! I finished my Tall Stars quilt in time for my guild’s October quilt show this year.  Sophie asked me to share the photo with everyone on Block Lotto.  I won these blocks in 2013. I’m calling the quilt “My Lucky Stars”.  I got the idea for the setting from Julie P.   Thanks, Julie! You can read more about the quilt and see more photos on my blog post here. Sharon...

I haven’t managed to make any blocks for this month yet but thought I would show you some of the scrappy strip quilts that I make.  I have one in progress at the moment.   I started making these after reading Wanda’s blog...
